Owen Pickering - Kris Letang

Penguins are starting off practice with one-on-one keepaway drills. Very high-energy. Guys are trying hard but also getting a kick out of it. Evgeni Malkin nearly tackled Noel Acciari.

They go into the full-team game after, where guys need to protect their puck while also knocking others out of the circle.

Owen Pickering knocked out Kris Letang in the final four, then Kevin Hayes tied up Sidney Crosby while Pickering knocked Crosby out. It came down to just Pickering and Hayes, and Hayes bumped Pickering off the puck and knocked it out for the win.

Evgeni Malkin's dad Vladimir is here watching practice.

Good morning from the UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex, where Phil Tomasino is on the ice in a white non-contact jersey. He missed Saturday's game with an upper-body injury sustained this past Friday in New York. Full attendance otherwise.

The Penguins are back to work today for an 11 a.m. practice. I'll be there to cover it.

Incredible stuff out of Ottawa, where the OHL's 67's held their Teddy Bear Toss game, something a lot of minor-league and junior teams do leading up to the holidays. Fans bring stuffed toys and throw them on the ice at the first home goal to be collected for charity.

A scuffle between the 67's and Barrie Colts broke out as the bears rained down. Penguins forward prospect Cooper Foster had the primary assist on the goal that started the toss, then got tossed himself from the game for what transpired. That's him in white around the 15-second mark:

In honor of Taylor Swift wrapping up The Eras Tour tonight after 151 shows ... here's a Survey Says from last season that I never got around to running: Favorite Taylor Swift song. Rickard Rakell ended up going to her show in Stockholm this past summer and called it “the best thing I’ve ever seen. It’s impressive, she doesn’t take any breaks.” 

Drew O'Connor: 'Anti-Hero.'

Sidney Crosby: I couldn't tell you the names of her songs. I mean, I know of Taylor Swift, obviously and all her songs but I couldn't tell you the names. 'Shake it Off' is pretty good, It's catchy. But she's got a lot of good ones.

Ryan Shea: I wouldn't say I'm a big Swiftie, but 'Shake It Off.'

Chad Ruhwedel: I respect her music, she's huge. She's not something I listen to all the time, but 'Shake It Off.'

Matt Nieto: Oh, what's that one I really like ... 'Shake It Off!' Yeah, that's it.

Jake Guentzel: 'Shake it Off,' probably.

Marcus Pettersson: I'm going to say 'Karma,' a new one. 

Alex Nylander: 'Karma.'

Noel Acciari: 'You Belong With Me.'

Jansen Harkins: 'Wildest Dreams.'

Kris Letang: I'm not going to lie, I don't know any of them. I mean, I heard she's really good.

Radim Zohorna: Oh, 'Blank Space!'

Reilly Smith: She has a couple of good ones, but probably 'Shake It Off.'

Ryan Graves: 'Love Story.' A Classic.

Magnus Hellberg: 'Love Story.'

John Ludvig: 'Love Story.'

Jonathan Gruden: Oh wow, that's a tough question. 'Love Story' or 'All Too Well (10 Minute Version)'. I have two sisters so I know a lot.

Tristan Jarry: I have no idea.

Alex Nedeljkovic: 'You Need to Calm Down.'

Vinnie Hinostroza: 'Bad Blood.'

Bryan Rust: I'm going to throw it back -- 'Our Song.' Takes me back to high school.

P.O Joseph: I don't really listen to a lot of Taylor Swift, to be honest. But I'll go with '22.'

Rickard Rakell: '... Ready For It?'
